About This Track
“Mama Kin” is a song by American hard rock band Aerosmith, which appeared on its debut self-titled album. The song was written by lead singer Steven Tyler. The song made It to #75 on The Billboard Hot 100.
The song has also been a live staple of Aerosmith concerts throughout the band’s career (including up to their most recent tour in 2009). Live versions of the song appeared on Live! Bootleg, Classics Live, and A Little South of Sanity.
The song has also appeared on several Aerosmith compilations including Gems (1988), Pandora’s Box (1991), Pandora’s Toys (1995), O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits (2002) and Greatest Hits 1973–1988 (2004).
* In the early 1990s, the band opened up a music club called the Mama Kin Music Hall in their hometown of Boston, Massachusetts - the club has since closed.
* Steven Tyler has a tattoo on his arm with the phrase “Ma’ Kin.” He got it when the band was writing its first album because he had so much confidence in the song. Tyler and Perry have both said that his arm was too thin to fit the whole title.
* Shinedown references to “smokin’ tea with Mama Kin” in their song “Cry for Help” on the Sound of Madness album
The song was covered by Guns N’ Roses in 1986 and released in the same year in their EP Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide. It was later re-released on their 1988 EP G N’ R Lies. There’s also a live bootleg version of Guns N’ Roses performing the song along with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry.

The introduction of Mama Kin sounds like "Who Are The Mystery Girls?" (New York Dolls). In records, Aerosmith with Mama Kin it's from 1973 and Too Much Too Soon with Who Are The Mystery Girls? it's from 1974. But which song really came first?
